Consequences of the Heart

Chapter 63

Quinn's POV

I arrive back home and the second I walk into the kitchen I see an adorable yet strange blonde hair girl who is around my age standing in the middle of the room wearing nothing but what I know is clearly my brother's retro wrestling chalk line football jersey that ends at the middle of her knees. 

"Hello." I say closing the front door and getting the attention of the young lady and her green eyes. "Morning." She says as her cheeks turns red and she gets that look on her face like a doe caught in headlights. "I don't mean to sound rude but who are you?" I ask crossing my arms over me chest with a fake smile on my face. 

"I know how awkward this must look, my name is Trinity Pierce." She says as another voice joins the conversation. "Hey Trin, I was thinking that we could spend the day together since it is my day off." lo and behold my brother walks into the kitchen wearing only a pair of very loose shorts. "QUINN!" Jared yells every surprised to see me standing in the kitchen. 

"Good morning to you too big brother." I say looking between Jared and Trinity with a knowing smirk on my face. "Quinn this is Trinity and Trinity this is my little sister Quinn." I shake her hand with a genuine smile on face. "I think I know who you are, you must be the blonde haired goddess with the perfect singing voice that my brother has been spending all this free time with as of late." Jared runs his hand over his face with a look as Trinity giggles nodding her head.

 "I guess that would be me." If looks could kill then from the look I am getting from Jared right now I would drop dead on the kitchen floor right now. "I am assuming from you wearing my brothers jersey that you stayed the night last night." Trinity goes to answer the question but Jared cuts her off before she can. "Trinity I will be right back, I need to talk with my little sister in private." Jared grabs my hand and pulls out of the kitchen and into the living room. 

"Where have you been because you never checked in last night." Jared growls as I pull away from him with a big smile on my face. "I see you enjoyed having the house to yourselves last night." I say pointing to the small bruises scattered on my brothers bare upper body. "I see you got over Brenton rather quickly." Jared says right back which gets the smile to vanish from my face. 

"That was over the line." I sit down on the couch as Jared sits down across from me on the table. "What happened last night? Because what I was able to understand from a beyond drunk Brenton is that two of you broke up." I run my fingers through my hair. "Don't you have more important things to take care of? Because I am sure that if dad, our Uncles, or our grandmother see that half naked blonde in the kitchen that they are going to have a lot to say to you as well as Trinity." Jared eyes go wide as he lets out a groans of frustration. 

"You don't tell anyone about my night with Trinity and in return I won't tell anyone about you coming home this morning smelling like men's cologne." I answer him with a nod my head as he stands up and goes into the kitchen. 

After a couple of hours of just talking with a now fully dressed Trinity I can say that she is more hart warming, generous, and over all wonderful girl. "WERE HOME!" I hear the booming voice of my Uncle Caspian yell from inside the kitchen. "IN THE LIVING ROOM!" Jared yells back and seconds later my eyes tear up with joy to see my dad who still heavy taped up but is walking on his two feet and looking like his old self again. 

"How does it feel to be home dad?" Jared asks carefully hugging our dad who seems a little more emotional than normal. "I couldn't stand that hospital." Jared and dad pull out of the hug as me and dad lock eyes. "We need to have a talk young lady because you are in serious trouble." I nod my head as Aunt Penny and Uncle Tevin help my dad to the downstairs spare bedroom where he will staying while he recovers. 

"Jared come help us unload the car." Jared nods his head and goes to help my other two Uncles, and that leaves Etta who has noticed Trinity. "Who might this be?" Etta asks sitting down in her chair and I can tell by the way she looking at poor Trinity that Etta is already preforming a personal evaluation in her head. "This is Trinity Pierce and she is friend of Jared's." I say and right away my grandmother starts talking with Trinity while using her bag of psychological tricks to make sure that Trinity gets approved by Etta. 

"You better get in there and fast if I were you." I say running into my brother as I enter the kitchen. "Etta is already half way through her evaluation of Trinity." Uncle Caspian and Uncle Evan start laughing. "You think it is hard having her for a grandmother, try having her as your mom." Jared groans before rushing into the living room. 

"Growing up we all hated bringing anyone over to the house because of Etta." Uncle Caspian says sitting down at the kitchen table. "I still remember the conversation that I went through with Etta, and I am still not over it." Uncle Evan says just in time for Aunt Penny and Uncle Tevin comes back into the room. 

"You think you had it bad, she made Tevin cry and he broke up with me for 8 months after his talk with our mom." Aunt Penny gives me a look and sighs. "He wants to talk to you kiddo." Aunt Penny says patting my on the shoulder and I take a deep breath before walking to his room.
